1/10 onroad, 1/12 on road..

[juntom10]

hello :wave:

I wondering that

what are the merits of each one

(tc4 vs 12L4)

I think tc4 is bigger, 4wd, but 12l4 is smaller, faster?(if using same motor, esc as tc4)

thanks :)

yeah 12l4 is not only smaller but so much simpler so its is immensly lighter, and running with the same gear as a 1/10 they are blisteringly fast.

True, but 1/12 scales are NOT meant as play cars, they are VERY specific in what they're intended(& work best) for, which is racing on carpet tracks. On carpet, those things can FLY, definitely as fast or faster than any 1/10 TC using the same motor(assuming both are properly set up), but on low grip surfaces or rough surfaces, you really DON'T want a 1/12 scale pan car(the 12L4 is an example of pan cars, single level plate chassis, & almost NO suspension travel, with a solid rear axle, instead of a fully independent suspension like TC's have). But TC's are MUCH more forgiving, & adaptable to most ANY surface you wanna run on(I even see guys set theirs up to run on dirt ovals, & they work great), so they're good play cars as well as strong race cars.... :cool:
